If you’re searching for the key knitwear trends for Autumn 2025, the message from the runways, streets and your social feeds is unanimous: this season is all about texture, shape and heritage with a twist. The new knitwear mood is confident, elevated and irresistibly tactile - from diamond-patterned argyle to fuzzy mohair. Below, we break down the five knitwear trends everyone’s talking about right now, and how to wear them with aplomb.
Lucy Bronze Renee Merino Argyle Cardigan
£125.00
Happy Gilmore 2 put golf style back on the map for 2025, and we're happy to continue you it into the cosy season. Once reserved for golf clubs and prep schools, Argyle has been re-energised for 2025 with bold colour contrasts and oversized geometric panels. To style the look, pair an argyle jumper with leather trousers or crisp tailoring for a clash that keeps it from looking costume-y.
ASOS DESIGN shoulder pad structured cardigan in chocolate
£35.00
After seasons dominated by oversized, slouchy shapes, autumn 2025 marks the return of the nippy waistline. This is about as close to tailored as a knit can be - ribbed belts, corset seams and elasticated details that offers structure without sacrificing comfort. As you'd expect, a fitted cardigan looks perfect over tailoring - think wide leg trousers to balance the silhouettes - or slip dresses and maxi silk skirts. This is how to turn your cosiest items into something you can wear to work, or into evening.
Striped Mohair Jumper
£97.00
If there’s one texture defining autumn knitwear 2025, it’s mohair. Fuzzy, elevated and expensive-looking, mohair jumpers look especially good pairing against sleek leather or satin to create a tactile contrast, or try a mohair vest layered over a white shirt for subtle softness. Typically accompanied with a hefty price tag, luckily the high street has take the trend by the horns with brands like H&M offering some seriously good value styles for less.
Francis Wool-Blend Striped V-neck Jumper
£125.00
Once upon a time, you'd never have caught some of us wearing a V neckline. For many, it's the least flattering option, often attributed to slimline preppy styles that feel dated. Now it's one of the most wearable, flattering options of the season. This year’s V-necks are wider and softer, with fluid lines that frame the collarbone. Some plunge deep for a statement look, while others sit higher for easy layering. For daytime polish, layer a V-neck jumper over a fancy sleeve shirt and add tailored trousers or denim. For evening, choose a deeper V in mohair or fine merino paired with leather.
Alpaca-Wool Blend Jumper - Blue
£67.00
Collared knits of all kinds are back in a big way for autumn 2025. Taking cues from a vintage collegiate aesthetic, the result is preppy but polished, perfect for layering under coats or wearing solo when the weather softens. Rugby tops gets a special mention as the cult item to covet - with bold stripes, button plackets and contrast collars, they look great paired with tailored trousers or a satin midi skirt for a clean, contemporary look.
